Experience

My husband and I are a teaching team. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education with 20 years of teaching experience. In addition, I have worked as a mentor for teacher candidates in a laboratory school at our local university. I am currently teaching 5th grade math at a college preparatory school. My husband is an artist who discovered his love of teaching about 14 years ago. He currently teaches art at a local independent school.

Teaching style

In the words of Picasso, "I believe that every child is an artist".

Awards & shining teacher moments

Our art studio for kids was recognized for Best Summer Camp and Best Kids Party Destination by Memphis Parent Magazine. We also received 2nd place for Best Kids Entertainment. One of my husband's figurative pieces was recently selected for the 56th Annual Delta Art Exhibition. I was recognized as an "irreplaceable" for having evaluation scores in the top 5% of my district.

My own education history

We both received our bachelor's degrees from the University of Memphis, so when our powers combine we have an art degree and an early childhood degree.

Additional biographical information

My husband and I have been married for almost 20 years, and we have 3 amazing boys! We are born and raised Memphians who love TIGER basketball and football.
